the theory is a disney standard and a good one. there is a principle in it that is called "appeal" which is very general. but this can overrule all the others (as in this case). but that still meant that i had to say that it had limited motion and anticipation and other things. so i felt dickish including the little details that don't apply because they don't effect the overall piece.

If the theory generates invalid results the theory's flawed. I dunno what the 12 principles are, but if they predict Gilliam's work will fail .... and it didn't ......

i feel horrible. i have to write a paper on gilliams animation so i have critique it as it applies to the 12 principles. his animations are great and have appeal but i feel like an dick when i am forced to say that they are limited.

Oops - actually that was only the Christmas Card bit on the end. I'm not sure when the preceding stuff was broadcast. Almost certainly later on though - it does have a modern feel.

It was on the Christmas special of DNAYS, called Do Not Adjust Your Stocking.

Gilliam certainly has defined his style.

Amazing post! It's so great to see so much of Gilliam's animation together, and not chopped up in to little bits. It's amazing how good the quality of the film is, Gilliam's animations in Python actually look slightly less polished and have more dust and damage to the film than the first segment of this does. It makes a bit of sense though. The other Pythons recall that Gilliam worked in a mad frenzy til the last minute on Python. He may have had more time to work here...
